Preparation

Maple Caramelized Pineapple

In a large skillet, heat maple syrup until it begins to caramelize. Add pineapple and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until it has released its juices and begins to caramelize. Let cool.

Coconut French Toast

In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, eggs, sugar, lime zest and juice. Dip bread slices, one at a time, letting them soak thoroughly.
In a large non-stick skillet, brown bread slices on each side, two or three at a time, in butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cook, turning them in the skillet so they caramelize. Clean skillet between batches. Serve immediately and garnish with caramelized pineapple and maple syrup.
